The girls at the top didn't like French, and they didn't like me. I finally won them over with some effort as the semester wore on, and when they left my class, I remember them giving me a framed picture of the two of them. I wonder where they are, and if they are still friends.

The group at the bottom was a wonderful class. I can't recall whether this was a french IV or an AP class, but I know they were all very bright and just delightful kids. Where are they now? Such great memories! What was I thinking with the Christmas sweater though? And the hair? Are you kidding me?

About Me

I am a retired French and Humanities teacher from Michigan living in the south. I am married with four daughters and ten grandchildren. My husband and I travel frequently abroad and to visit our children and family. I do almost nothing I don't want to do. The luxury of retirement is doing anything you want anytime you want and quitting if you don't like it.

I spend most of my time writing, facilitating or attending meetings, working out, having lunch with friends, preparing speeches to deliver to local organizations and researching and practicing for my next one-woman show, "Fine and Dandy: The Story of George Gershwin."

I see the humor in life, the good in people, and my mantra is: LAUGHTER IS CONTAGIOUS; SPREAD THE VIRUS!
